There is high demand for new Rheumatologists in Canada. The CRAF Summer Studentship Programs are an excellent way for Canadian students (citizens or permanent residents) registered in a medical school to gain experience and interest in this important sub-specialty. Each student can apply for both the clinical and research studentships but can only accept one studentship if both applications are successful.
The CRAF offers a clinical-based Summer Studentship. This experiential program selects students to shadow a CRA Member Rheumatologist in a clinical setting.

This program is an introduction to the sub-specialty of rheumatology, connecting students with a CRA member for a rheumatology-based research project.
